The castle houses several suits of armor but, this one seems to be a particularly popular place for meetings between friends.

Audio was walking aimlessly, letting himself get familiar with the grounds of Hogwarts. He eventually found himself by the suits of armor and found a bench that was across the hall, looking at one in particular. He sat down and pulled out his current reading material and began to read, running a hand through his hand as he head the book between the fingers of his left hand.

After receiving her guitar, instead of heading towards the Common Room, she went right by it and continued to walk forward. Livvy was unsure of where exactly she was headed, but she continued on with a dazed and contemplating look on her face as she went down the moving staircase and through the hallways, not really paying attention to where she was going, but she knew where she was. Well... she should after attending the school for a little over five years.

Biting her lip, Livvy took a turn, not really noticing if anyone was in the room with her. She just wanted to... think. There never seemed to be a place to think... nor a good time... nor a person to spend that time with to think. She was quite sad, now that she thought about it. Always lonely, except for the times when she was with her friends and then messed it all up. Though. That was only one time.

Crossing her arms, Livvy walked over to one of the suits of armor, studying each and every feature that was on the armor. She studied it and tried to think about the armor, but her thoughts kept drifting back to Rachel. She desperately wanted to talk to that girl, but Livvy knew that the girl needed time to cool down. But still... Livvy wanted to know what to do. What to do to make things better. ...Where was Reid, anyway?

As he heard footsteps clamor down the hallway, Audios eyes flickered up as he saw the girl walk through and stop to study the suit of armor. He found this to be a bit odd seeing how there wasn't anything really special about them. He was going to say something, but instead he quietly took his wand from his pocket and flicked it, mumbling a spell as the head of the armor turned to look straight at the girl with a loud clamor.

Why she was still standing there, Livvy wasn't quite so sure herself. But there was no where else to go. Everywhere she went, there was people. And when there was people... there was laughter. And as selfish as it sounded, Livvy hated hearing laughter when she was so frustrated. It made her wonder if the people knew about what happened around the world. Or what was happening to the girl that sat alone just a few feet away. Even though she, herself, had laughed quite so many times. She confused herself. She was disgusted at herself.

Livvy's eyes, lingered on the suit of armor still, studying its designs. And that's when she saw a figure on the armor. Her eyebrows scrunched up together and she thought for a moment. How had she not seen that person? Livvy wondered if she should just leave, but then... why should she? She wasn't bothering this person... nor were they bothering her. Heck, Livvy almost went for five minutes without noticing their presence.

Without looking behind her at the person, her eyes stared at the wall behind the armor and the texture of it. Amazing how she had been here for oh so long... but never had she actually noticed how the wall was like. That's cuz' the wall is BORING, Livvy.

Then something moved. Curiously, Livvy looked back at the armor and -

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed the sixth year girl, as she stumbled backwards and landed on her butt, moving her guitar out of the way before she could collapse on it. Did-did... did that just look at her? But ooooooow... her buuuuuttt. Livvy's hand immediately went to her bottom to rub it.

Lyddia ran down the hallway, stopping suddenly.

She had been chasing after her ferret, Terref, who had run away from her on her way down to the courtyard. She had kept him in sight up until now, and she had a feeling he was around here somewhere.

She heard a jumble of movement, and turned to one of the suits of armour. She looked at it curiously, and approached cautiously. When nothing happened, she made to turn away, but then she saw the armour moving furiously, making lots of noise.

Then, suddenly, Terref came out of the suit of armour and ran down the hall again. Lyddia huffed in exasperation and set off down the hall after Terref yet again.

Audio couldn't help but let out a snort, waving his wand once more to have the suit of armor offer its hand to the girl to help her up- which Audio thought was pretty hilarious. The girl was more scared then Audio would've thought. Usually people are used to that kind of magic- must be of some muggle descent and wasn't used to magical moving things.

Whuuuuut was that? A snort? A laugh? Some form of showing delight?

Before Livvy could glance around and glare at the guy that gave her such a horrible fate, the suit of armor offered her hand. Umm... okay. Well... at least the armor was a gentleman right? She accepted the um... armor's... hand and was pulled up. She brushed off the dust from her clothes and straightened herself up.

Now... that... that.... boy...

"Hey! That hurt, you know..." Livvy said, picking up her guitar case from the ground and slinging it over her shoulder. She wasn't in too good of a mood already and well this guy just pulled the last straw. She swore she was just gonna snap and hex that kid and then get expelled and transfer. Well... that would solve all her problems. But it wasn't a good idea.

He could hear the annoyance in her voice, but he didn't really mean to make her upset... it just happened that way. He grinned, "I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd actually fall like that."

Yeah yeahhh... Livvy had no need to be upset at some random stranger that didn't actually mean any harm. She was just so wired and on edge and snappy at everything and everybody. Gahh... She needed more sleep. She needed to keep her mind off things and just... rest. Just rest. Wouldn't that be great? But sleep was being stupid and escaping her.

Sighing, Livvy gave the boy a small reassuring smile and just shrugged as she shook her head. "It's... it's okay. I'm just... I'm not in too great of a mood. I probably would've laughed actually if it were any other day," she said, her face falling slightly as she moved over to the bench and plopped down, staring at the wall across from her.

He closed the book that was still held in his hands from before she came along and placed it on his lap. His eyes looked to the side to the girl who joined him on the bench, "Well I'm sorry to catch you on such a bad day. I have a knack for doing things like that." he said, letting out a short laugh as he looked down at the book that his fingers were now toying with the corners of the book absentmindedly.
After a moment he looked over to her. "I'm Audio."

Sighing, Livvy unconsciously rubbed her poor bottom once more, leaning gently towards the right. Hopefully it wouldn't hurt as much for Quidditch try-outs. If it did and she didn't get in... she was gonna KEEEELLL this kid. DAT'S RIGHT. LIVVEH'S GONNA GETCHU!

Hmm?

Noticing that the boy had spoken to her, Livvy glanced at him and just smiled widely. "It's cool. Impeccable timing, that's for sure. But, I'll be fine in no time. I hope," she said, chuckling as she checked her legs and arms for any bruises or any signs of injuries. Wouldn't want internal bleeding... now would we? No siree. That was never a good thing.

Livvy looked from her arms and back to the boy. "Hi Audio. That's a rather interesting name. I'm Olivia. I go by Livvy though."

"Well, it's a pleasure Livvy." he said with a nod to her. Though there wasn't actually much pleasure to this meeting. He kinda hurt her and probably made her heart skip out of her chest- not to mention that she was already ticked before he did that. Though it did amuse him... so some pleasure came from it. "So... what exactly were you doing anyway? You were like... staring at the thing." he said with a gentle laugh, gesturing to the suit of armor.

Smiling gently, she nodded her head and replied, "Pleasure to meetcha tooo, Audio." Hmmm... Audio. That was SUCH a cool name. It was like audio as in music. And well Livvy just luuuuuurved music. So already the boy had won brownie points, just for his name. He was in her good book, despite the little scare he had caused.

At his question, Livvy puzzled over it. Umm... what was she staring at?

Looking back at the boy, she grinned. "Good question. And... well... I honestly don't know. I just walked in and was like, 'Ooh! A piece of metal!' and just walked over there. I was just... pretty much thinking. Never a good time or place to think," she said, sighing gently.

"What were you doing? Being all sneakeh?"

"No, actually." he said, letting out a chuckle as he sat up a bit- picking up the book that was on his lap and showing it to her. "Reading." he stated, dropping it back on his lap. "This was the only quiet place I could find." he looked over to her. "I know, I know. I'm such a rebellious Slytherin, eh?" he said, sarcasm leaking through his words as he joked with her.

As he watched his footsteps (because he had to keep a close eye on his feet these days, lest he lose track of them and fall over) Jake felt his head knocked into something solid... yet hollow. Blinking in surprise, Jake pushed his newly acquired glasses up his face with the palm of his hand and squinted up at the thing in front of him.

A... suit of armour?

And not just any suit of armour. THE suit of armour. The suit of armour he'd pushed onto the head girl last year.

Scrunching up his nose, Jake glanced around and took in his surroundings for the first time. He hadn't actually been paying attention to where he was going... just that he was going... somewhere.

Shrugging (and wincing from the slight pain that remained) Jake checked his reflection in THE suit of armour. Ugh, with his pink hair and glasses, he looked... slightly ridiculous.

Had you asked her, LouAnn Purple wouldn't have honestly had a clue where she was at this particular moment. It wasn't that she was lost, though. No, no, it was quite the contrary. LouAnn had been here at Hogwart's for nearly three months now, and in that time she'd more or less figured out all the little nooks and crannies of the castle. Her obliviousness was due mainly in part to the fact that she was currently strolling the corridors in the midst of yet another blackout session. The last thing she remembered was leaving the library, where she'd been searching for a book on runes and how they could possibly effect your life. With her arms dangling limply by her side and her unblinking eyes staring straight ahead, she approached a number of suits of armor lined up along the walls.

Clatter! Bang, bang! Clatter!

A terrible noise erupted when LouAnn walked straight into four or five of the suits, causing at least three of them to crash to the ground. Of course the noise pulled her back to reality, and she blinked several times before kneeling to the ground in pain. "Ouch, dang it!" she fussed, rubbing her forehead with the palm of her hand. "Stupid armor!"

Audio was merely walking past the hall, about to turn the other direction when he heard the racket coming from the corridor with the suits of armor- a place that he used to go all the time for peace and quiet, oddly enough. He took a step back and peaked around the corner, seeing LouAnn.
He recognized her, but wasn't sure here he saw her before. He was pretty sure that she was in a class with him but.. just couldn't put his finger on it.
Nevertheless, he stepped into the hall and looked to her.
"Are you.. okay?"

As he was admiring his beautiful (haha, not) reflection in the suit of armour, a sudden clanging sound brought him out of his reverie...

"Wh-what?" he stammered (this being his usual way of speaking this days). "Is th-that y-y-you?"

Scrambling around towards her, Jake bit his lip and eyed the girl worriedly. "Are y-y-you o... o..." he frowned in concentration for a moment. "O... okay?"

Although she didn't make a single move to get off the floor or stop rubbing her pounding forehead, LouAnn nodded a few times when someone asked if she was alright. "Yeah, I'll be okay. This...has actually happened a few times lately," she mumbled, finally glancing up and looking towards the first boy who'd spoken to her. She gave him a small, polite smile, then pushed herself off the ground. "Not running into suits or armor, though---blacking out. I've been blacking out a lot lately."

Her eyes traveled from Audio to Jake, who appeared more than just a little startled at the sudden loud noises booming throughout the corridors. "Jake, Jake, it's me. It's LouAnn," she said, hearing the nervousness in his voice. She wrinkled her eyebrows in confusion at what'd he'd said, though. "Is that---who? Who were you thinking I was?" With her wand, she started to clean up the mess she'd caused, piecing together the suits of armor so they'd once again be as they were before she ran into them.

Blinking and shaking his head for a moment, taking off his glasses and cleaning them on a clean rag from his pocket, Jake squinted at LouAnn. "Oh... suh-suh-sorry," he mumbled, pushing the glasses back onto his face. "Thuh-thought you wwwwwwwere P'fessor Bunbreee," he explained, nodding at the girl and watching her tidy the suits of armour with magic (he watched her jealously, I might add).

"Whatchu ddddddoin' 'ere?" Jake asked, sweeping the hair from his eyes (obviously having missed her explanation).

Audio stepped into the corridor a bit more, his eyebrows pulling together a bit in confusion. "You've been blacking out?" he asked, tilting his head a bit. "I don't know about you, but that doesn't exactly sound... healthy to me." he said slowly, using his wand to move a piece that scattered near his feet over to where she was piecing together the rest of the Suit of Armor.

Poor Jake. He looked so scared and startled at such a small incident. Then again, LouAnn did make a rather loud entrance in an otherwise calm corridor. Still, the boy was stuttering as if something else had previously scared him far worse than LouAnn and her run-in with the suits of armor. "Professor Bunbury? Are you afraid to see her or something?" she asked. Surely the Herbology professor wasn't that scary. Jake had been at Hogwarts years longer than LouAnn, though, so maybe he knew something she didn't. "You okay, Jake?"

She heard Jake ask her what she was doing here, so she figured she'd kill two birds with one stone and answer both Jake and Audio at once. "I've been....blacking out, yeah. I'm sure I'm just tired, though, but...I honestly didn't realize I was here. Or that I was about to run into a ton of armor, at that," she explained. She shrugged it off, sort of embarrassed to talk about it in front of the two boys. "So what brings you two here?"

"I was just walking past here to get to the common room when I heard the crash- I just wanted to make sure you were okay..." he trailed off, his mind going back to what she said. "So wait- you're just... blacking out and then finding yourself in random places in the castle? Shouldn't you go to the hospital wing and get that checked out?"

Slamming his gob shut, Jake shook his head 'no'. "'S no bovvuh," he replied, looking curiously at the other boy who was there so as to shift the attention from himself. Well... he said boy, but the kid seemed older.

Grrr. What was with old people?

Listening to LouAnn's explanation about the black-outs, Jake kept quieter still. He'd had a black-out session recently, although that was because he'd been squeezed half to death by a plant, and... suspected himself to have reacted after that.

"I..." Jake stalled, forgetting what exactly he was doing here. "Wwwwwwalk," he stammer!slurred as quick as he could. Yep. Technically it was true... he HAD been walking. But then the other kid said something. "Dun gotothe hos... the hos... the hospickal wing. She's..." Jake lowered his voice to a mere whisper. "Notta ggggggood healerrr."
